On Feb. 5 the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) will open its application system for the spring 2014 cycle. Upcoming opportunities include:
~~~~~~~~~~Obesity Treatment Options Set in Primary Care for Underserved Populations
Funded projects will determine real-world comparative effectiveness of obesity treatment options in racial/ethnic minorities, low socio-economic and rural populations. Up to $20 million is available for this program with maximum annual project budgets of $10 million for 5-years. Letters of intent are due March 7.
~~~~~~~~~~The Effectiveness of Transitional Care
Selected proposals will help determine which transitional care service clusters are most effective while optimizing readmission rates in at-risk populations within different healthcare contexts (e.g., fee-for-service, capitation, new payment models, medical homes, and integrated delivery systems). Up to $15 million is available per 3-year project. Letters of intent are due March 7.
